To Help Us Assess Your Claim, Please Tell Us Your Sign

Twenty-four local authorities in England are using or considering a fraud detection software so clueless that not even the faith-based community at Westminster believes in it. The Department for Workfare and Privation threw out Voice Risk Analysis in 2010; but when it comes to kicking the work-shy, councils are free to use whatever methods they see fit. Voice Risk Analysis is free of the merely scientific basis that underpins such inconveniences as climate change; and, like the faith-based community at Westminster, it makes no time-wasting distinctions between honest claimants and scrounging fraudsters. Additionally, Voice Risk Analysis provides councils with a handy excuse to throw public money at private profiteers, regardless of whether anything useful, or even harmless, is actually being provided; this no doubt explains why the councils have not encouraged their benefits departments to meet the refusal targets by consulting a horoscope or dissecting a rooster or two.
